Eli: What's up?Nozomi: I told everyone's fortunes with the cards... But all the results were pretty bad.Eli: Hmm...

That symbolizes recklessness without fear of losing.Eli: ...But isn't Honoka usually like that?Nozomi: ...Well, yes.Honoka: Oh! Eli! Nozomi! Oh! Um...Honoka: Ha ha ha... I'll just go on ahead to the club room!Eli: I-Is she going to be OK?Nozomi: See you there!

Nozomi: Here, I'll just write out the results of my fortune telling...Eli: ...You know, it looks like you're listing our personality flaws.Nozomi: You don't really have to worry about it...Eli: We've got to be ourselves, flaws and all.Nozomi: But when we're all together in µ's, we make up for them.Nozomi: But µ's is really lucky, you know.Eli: ? Nozomi: Right now is a fateful turning point! We we have to take any chance we get! ...Or something like that.Eli: A fateful turning point, huh?Nozomi: I'm sure an opportunity will present itself soon.Eli: Well, then we have no choice but to practice and be ready for it then, right?Nozomi: That's right. What are you going to do about practice today?Eli: I need to stop by the student council office first. You go on ahead.Nozomi: Ok. See you later.
